Imagine if you could’ve bought the keys to the Internet in 1994! A tectonic shift at the intersection of finance & technology approaches, where the very fabric of the global capital markets are being transformed at the atomic level for the first time since the advent of fungible currency is enabling such and opportunity now. Smart contract and the blockchain allow the creation of global P2P capital markets. Purchasing Veritas tokens is analogous to purchasing the keys to the most monumental paradigm shift since the advent of the Internet!

Why isn't this called a bailout?

Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., the securities firm that filed the biggest bankruptcy in history yesterday, was advanced $138 billion this week by JPMorgan Chase & Co. to settle Lehman trades and keep financial markets stable, according to a court filing.

One advance of $87 billion was made on Sept. 15 after the pre-dawn filing, and another of $51 billion was made the following day, according to a bankruptcy court documents posted today. Both were made to settle securities transactions with customers of Lehman and its clearance parties, the filings said.

The advances were necessary ``to avoid a disruption of the financial markets,'' Lehman said in the filing.

The first advance was repaid by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Lehman said. The bank didn't say if the second amount was repaid. Both advances were ``guaranteed by Lehman'' through collateral of the firm's holding company, the filing said. The advances were made at the request of Lehman and the Federal Reserve, according to the filing.

The Federal Reserve is considering
extending a ``loan package'' to American International Group
Inc., the insurer facing a cash shortage, according to a person
familiar with the negotiations.

The stance by federal regulators is a reversal from a
position they held as late as last night, and people with
knowledge of the talks are ``cautiously optimistic,'' said the
person, who declined to be identified because negotiations are
confidential...

Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd warned
the Fed and Treasury against a rescue of AIG without checking
with him first, expressing anger about past incidents where he
was only informed afterwards. He also said he was skeptical that
AIG merited aid while Lehman didn't.

``Tell me why this situation is different from Lehman,'' he
said today. ``I'm willing to listen.''
